Abstract

Despite decades of residence, Turkish-Dutch citizens, one of the largest immigrant groups in the Netherlands, continue to face significant disparities in health, social, and economic factors compared to native Dutch citizens. To better understand this persistent disparity, we examined the acculturation process of Turkish-Dutch citizens across three generations. Our study addressed two critical research gaps: (1) acculturation processes across three generations within a specific immigrant group, and (2) different acculturation domains across these generations. Data from 464 participants (232 Turkish-Dutch, 232 Dutch) show that acculturation varies significantly across generations (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) and domains (i.e., national identification, cultural values, language, and media use), with the second generation demonstrating the strongest resemblance to native Dutch citizens in most domains. These findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of acculturation processes and confirm the need for future research to consider generational differences and domain-specificity. The results have potential implications for policymakers and practitioners aiming to reduce disparities of Turkish-Dutch citizens with tailored policy and communication strategies.

考察三代土耳其-荷兰公民的文化适应：国家认同，文化价值观，语言和媒体使用的作用

土耳其-荷兰公民是荷兰最大的移民群体之一，尽管居住了几十年，但与荷兰本土公民相比，土耳其-荷兰公民在健康、社会和经济因素方面仍然面临着巨大的差距。为了更好地理解这种持续的差异，我们研究了土耳其-荷兰公民三代人的文化适应过程。我们的研究解决了两个关键的研究空白：(1)特定移民群体中三代人的文化适应过程；(2)这些代人之间不同的文化适应领域。来自464名参与者（232名土耳其-荷兰人，232名荷兰人）的数据表明，文化适应在几代人（第一代、第二代和第三代）和领域（即国家认同、文化价值观、语言和媒体使用）之间存在显著差异，第二代人在大多数领域与荷兰本土公民表现出最强烈的相似性。这些发现有助于对文化适应过程的细致理解，并证实了未来研究考虑代际差异和领域特异性的必要性。研究结果对旨在通过量身定制的政策和沟通策略减少土耳其-荷兰公民差距的政策制定者和实践者具有潜在的意义。

期刊介绍： IJIR is dedicated to advancing knowledge and understanding of theory, practice, and research in intergroup relations. The contents encompass theoretical developments, field-based evaluations of training techniques, empirical discussions of cultural similarities and differences, and critical descriptions of new training approaches. Papers selected for publication in IJIR are judged to increase our understanding of intergroup tensions and harmony. Issue-oriented and cross-discipline discussion is encouraged. The highest priority is given to manuscripts that join theory, practice, and field research design. By theory, we mean conceptual schemes focused on the nature of cultural differences and similarities.
